To celebrate 10 years of the East Dulwich Writers' Group, we've published an anthology consisting of short stories, novel extracts and poems by 18 members of EDWG. The title, Hoovering the Roof, was chosen by a poll publicised on this forum and elsewhere. Some of the contributors are published authors, some yet-to-be, and we have at least 2 people who are winners of prestigious competitions. This eclectic collection reflects the diversity of the EDWG members and should contain something for everyone. Ideal as a seasonal gift!


The book will be available from next week at local bookshops and online at Amazon or via our website (with a discount). See www.edwg.co.uk for details.


We're holding a launch event at the Crow on the Hill bookshop next Thur (see What's On for details).


To be entered into a lucky dip to win a copy of the book signed by all the contributors, please email me at [email protected]

Hot off the press! I've just had an email saying the books have arrived - earlier than expected, which is great news.


We'll be getting them in bookshops over the next few days but meanwhile you can order copies with a ?1 discount via our website as above.


Or better still - come to one of the launch events. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,369549

Thanks, guys. Last night we finally held copies of the book in our hot little hands. And it's great - a real celebration of the creative writing talent alive and well in this little corner of SE London.


Hope we see lots of you at the launch events at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill on Thursday and next Monday at Dulwich Library. See What's On for details.


And you can order the book online at www.edwg.co.uk

  • 2 weeks later...

We've had 2 very successful launch events and sold 19 copies of Hoovering the Roof at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill last week and another 11 at the Dulwich Library event on Monday. We're planning further events in the new year.


We'll be selling the anthology and other books and music by EDWG members on a stall in North Cross Road this Saturday 10.30-3.00 and for the next 2 Saturdays. Our resident musician, Dan Maitland, will be popping over for some lively busking. Feel free to come along and say hello. (And buy a copy of the book, of course. Did I mention what a great seasonal gift it would make?)


If you can't make it to the stall, the book is now available at all the local bookshops, via our website www.edwg.co.uk and on Amazon.

    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
    • We found Nikolay through these reviews and I’m so glad we did! He’s just finished restoring the original wooden floors in the living room, dining room and hallway of our Victorian house which had probably not seen the light of day since construction. This involved carefully lifting them to install insulation underneath and replacing, sanding, filling and varnishing them, plus replacing boards that were too damaged by woodworm with reclaimed pine boards. The floors are now transformed and look beautiful. As others said,Nikolay and his team were friendly, very good communicators and charged a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
